The Resident Minister of PENSA at the University of Ghana Campus, Pastor Fedalis Yeboah, has urged young Christians to be intentional and fervent in seeking the Holy Spirit, stressing that life becomes frustrating without the power of God’s Spirit.
According to him, life’s purpose is only truly meaningful when one walks fully in the Spirit without gratifying the desires of the flesh. Therefore, seeking the Spirit’s power should be a top priority for every believer seeking transformation.
Speaking on the theme, “Generating Power through Baptism in the Holy Spirit and Infilling” with reference to Acts 1:4–8, during the Friday morning session of the 2026 PENSA Ghana Conference at the KNUST Campus, Pastor Yeboah explained that receiving power from God enables believers to witness the Gospel boldly, regardless of circumstances, because divine backing is assured when proclaiming the Good News.
Using an electrical device as an analogy, he illustrated that just as a gadget requires a consistent power source to charge its battery and function effectively, so does life. Without power, life becomes frustrating.
“A phone or laptop battery must be charged by a power source to perform its duties, just like a car that relies on fuel to operate,” he said.
“Without the source, these devices are useless—and that is what life is like. Young people must understand that it takes power to fulfil one’s purpose and make a meaningful impact on society,” he added.
He challenged the congregation to move beyond merely having the Holy Spirit dwell within them after accepting Christ, and instead allow the Spirit to become the owner and overseer of their lives through baptism in the Spirit.
“The Holy Spirit dwelling in you is a seal that makes you a member of His Body. He resides in you—but until He moves from tenancy to presidency, you will remain an ordinary, frustrated Christian,” he stated.
Pastor Yeboah further advised the gathering not to rely solely on books but to urgently and aggressively pursue the power of the Holy Spirit. Through Him, holiness is demonstrated, boldness is secured, and the gifts and fruits of the Spirit are manifested for transformation.
Addressing misconceptions about the existence and operations of the Holy Spirit, the University of Ghana Campus PENSA Pastor clarified that although counterfeits and false spirits may attempt to imitate the workings of God’s Spirit, the Holy Spirit is real and given by God for the edification of the Church and empowerment of believers.
